Chapter 6: Escape Aquatos
Hydro Girl sat down on one of the chairs and motioned the others to do the same.
"It's great to see you, but I know better than to assume this is social." she said.
"Of course, we better get to the point, Hydro Girl, you and all of us present are in danger." said Clank.
"From what?" she asked.
"There is a person we don't know, we call him the Hero Collector and he wants to kill us then put us on display, we don't know who he may already have." said Ratchet.
"That is very dangerous, I now understand why Kid Nova travelled two galaxies." she said, facing the window.
"We actually found him by accident, we were looking for him then crash landed on his planet, once we explained the situation, we immediately rushed to warn you." said Ratchet.
"I see, we better tell the majesty." and Hydro Girl ran out the room and entered the Queen's throne room.
"Hydro!" said a young woman.
"No, Princess, I must talk to your mother."
"What is the problem?" asked the Queen.
"There may be danger coming to Aquatos, according to Ratchet and Kid Nova, there is a Hero Collector who would like nothing more than to capture us heroes, me and those three plus others, I fear he will come to Aquatos looking for me, I must ask you to prepare a defence." said Hydro Girl.
"I understand." said the Queen.
"You should have mentioned this as soon as you arrived." said the Consort.
"Leave them be, they made the right move making sure Hydro Girl was okay first. You!" the Queen pointed at a guard.
"Yes, ma'am."
"Call the troops and raise shields!"
Barely an hour later, once the shields were raised, ships came to Aquatos.
"My lady, there are ships approaching, we are ready to fire, if you command." said another guard.
"Well done, soldier."
"They didn't waste time." said Ratchet, as he looked up through an open window.
"Ratchet, can you see them?" asked Clank.
"5, a big one and little shuttles, no, wait, oh no…" he said.
"What?"
"They actually entered the shields, and there are more than 50, we gotta leave here!" yelled Ratchet.
"Fighters, fire at will." said the Queen. "Dear husband, take care of the squad on the west side and be careful."
"I will, my lady." and they kissed. Then he left to help the fighters.
"The Princess!" and Hydro Girl rushed to her.
But a sudden bang made them all fall, the roof broke.
"Hydro." said the Princess.
"No!" and Ratchet dived under the rubble, and grabbed the frightened woman.
"Princess, you must run!" said Ratchet after releasing her.
"My name is Leila and thank you." then she left.
"The Queen is dead, I fear the Consort will go her way, maybe we should take Leila with us." said Kid Nova.
"Are you kidding? The enemy is after us, if she comes, she will be in more danger than if we left her here." said Ratchet as more rubble fell.
A stone hit Hydro Girl and an enemy soldier tried to capture her.
"No, Hydro Girl!" Ratchet fired at the enemy and saved Hydro Girl.
"Ratchet, in here." and Clank helped him in with Hydro Girl.
They flew away in Hydro Girl's ship.
